User:Rickgale/Gallatin County Tobacco Use Prevention Program

The Gallatin County Tobacco Use Prevention Program in southwest Montana is a community based program that is addressing the public health crisis caused by the use of all forms of commercial tobacco products. Their plans for 2011 will use best practices and build on past successes to:

Prevent local youth from beginning a lifetime of addiction to commercial tobacco products. Eliminate exposure to the hazardous effects of secondhand smoke and actively support the Montana Clean Indoor Air Act of 2005. Eliminate disparities related to tobacco use and its effects among certain population groups such as women of childbearing age, and low-income families. Help communities increase the number of housing and apartment complexes with smokefree designations.

The Gallatin County Tobacco Use Prevention Program is funded under a contract with the Montana Department of Health & Human Services-Montana Tobacco Use Prevention Program and Bozeman Public Schools.
